Day 2

On day two, visitors will swing into Historic Downtown Herndon, the site of a successful St. Patrick's Day raid by Confederate Ranger John Mosby, also known as the Gray Ghost. Then it's up to Antietam Battlefield, in Sharpsburg, Maryland, the site of the single deadliest day of fighting during the Civil War.

Day 4

Pop into the Historic City of Fairfax to start day four, highlighted by a stop at the Fairfax Museum and Visitors Center and Historic Blenheim, which features some of the greatest preserved Civil War graffiti found anywhere in America. Then make your way through Virginia Hunt Country while visiting the many sites along the Mosby Heritage Area on your way to Winchester. Winchester was the site of innumerable battles and skirmishes, and this city actually changed hands over 70 times during the course of the war.
